Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Crazy Boco (ranked 7446 p4p, 5206 weight class) and Simon Hedegaard (ranked 644 p4p, 556 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boco might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Crazy Nights. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
